RWi Week 7 Matchup Tool

Week 7 Matchup ToolAlex Dunlap, Rosterwatch.com
This is a weekly tool provided by RosterWatch, designed to be a decision-making tie-breaker for gauging the defensive opponents your fantasy players face.

The rankings are derived via a proprietary algorithm which takes into account not only standard “fantasy points against” metrics, but also weighted averages of separate individual player scouting grades for members of the unit that will be defending against the position in question.

To use the tool, think about your fantasy player.

Let’s say you own Bucs WR Vincent Jackson, and would like to see how he matches up against the defense he faces this week.

First look at the Bucs’ matchup for the week. See who the Bucs are playing, and see what the number is inside the “vs. WRs” cell for the their opponent this week.

As you will see, the Bucs are playing the New Orleans Saints who have a big, blue No. 1 in their “vs. WRs” cell. This is great news for Jackson owners.

Repeat the same process for other players on your roster as you are trying to decide which players to start and which to sit.
